Tidal or Qobuz

Recently switched from Tidal to Qobuz after Tidal shut down their discounted annual subscription.  Can’t distinguish a real sound difference between them…both are great.  I do miss Tidal’s much better music selection in Blues, Folk, Bluegrass, Rock.  Qobuz’s selection often can be a few albums if any while Tidal offers many if not all of an artists discography. Also, somewhat disappointed more music isn’t offered above 16/144. Higher Res offerings are quite an improvement.  Still a lot of love for both services and streaming!

Qobuz. Sound is slightly better and they have about 1/2 million high resolution albums versus fifty thousand or so for Tidal.

+1 ….. exactly the main points  ….. well summarized sir !

I used to have both services. But, I compared multiple track of the same album (same provenance) on Tidal and Qobuz and found the latter to sound better. There are some tracks on Tidal that are not on Qobuz that I wish I had access to, but Qobuz sounds better, and has more than enough. Plus I found Tidal’s hip hop centric recommendations and playlists not to my liking. Nothing against the genre, but I’m more of a classical, jazz, and acoustic/folk fan. Qobuz for me.

Best, 

MQA is simply unlistenable (to me). Heard enough of that in one night to last a lifetime and switched immediately to Qobuz. Conductor control app can be a pain, but the SQ, not to mention the breadth of catalogue . . .  no other streaming service (in my experience) comes close.
